I personally think its a little dark. I have dark tint on my car and love the way it looks from the outside- driving with it is totally different. When my mirrors tint- I can't see them and have to roll down the windows to see. I have a show on May 5 and then they are coming off.

Very sad to hear about your accident mark134uk, but congratulations on the black car.

So the white car and the new one were both diesels? Is the 250 a more powerful engine? Is that making it even more enjoyable than your previous car?

I must say, the white one was cooler, but I think your black one looks even better! Nice!

hi mac911 the white car was a c180 1.8 T sport petrol , the black is a c250 2.2 twin turbo diesel

i did love my c180 but after i got it, it seemed every man and his dog in my town also got 1 lol (white with black wheels came very common) at the min im the 1st (i think) in my town to have a all black c250,so been getting some nice headturns

in terms of performance im very pleased with the c250 so far its a great economical car at the same time as having some nice power when you want to put your foot down

i was a bit worried about going back to a diesel from the petrol but it sounds pretty good not like the rattle of normal diesels it seems to just humm along

the c250 is also fully loaded (apart from the rear camera) so its nice to have some cool gadgets in the car
